26 APR: DON’T LOOSE PATIENCE
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Galatians 6:9
Today’s Scripture: CLICK TO READ GALATIANS 6:1-10
Bob Foster, David’s friend for more than fifty years, never gave up on him. His unchanging friendship and encouragement, even during David’s darkest times, helped carry David through. Despite David’s issues, Foster was patient and willing to help for many years.
We often find ourselves determined to reach out and help someone we know who is in great need. But when we fail to see improvement right away, our resolve can weaken and we may eventually give up. We discover that what we hoped would be an immediate change has become an ongoing process.
The apostle Paul urges us to be patient in helping one another through the stumbles and struggles of life. When he writes, “Carry each other’s burdens” and so “fulfill the law of Christ” (Galatians 6:2), he is comparing our task to the work, time, and waiting it takes for a farmer to see a harvest.
How long should we keep praying and reaching out to those we love? “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up” (verse 9). How many times should we reach out? “As we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers” (verse 10).
The Lord encourages us today to trust Him, to remain faithful to others, to keep on praying, and to not give up!
Reflect & Pray
Father in heaven, we ask for hope and perseverance to continue reaching out to others.
In prayer we call on God “who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine.” Ephesians 3:20
